Harvey County Local Emergency Planning Committee Meeting Minutes
The meeting focused on the future direction of the committee, specifically the adoption of a model-based approach for emergency exercises. Key discussion topics included the implementation of Wheat City tabletop exercises consisting of three modules: pre-storm planning, emergency response to tornado scenarios, and post-disaster recovery. The committee reviewed the use of the Wheat City model as a tool for shared learning and perspective. Additionally, the committee introduced a survey to gather feedback on training gaps, discussed the Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshop to reduce training duplication, and planned for future meetings.
